Cinematic Instagram Video from Hawaii Footage

I’m looking for a talented video editor to turn my existing raw footage from an abandoned factory in Hawaii into a visually striking, one-minute video for Instagram. The goal is to create something that feels cinematic, moody, and engaging from the first second to the last.

What You’ll Do:

Edit provided raw footage into a 60-second vertical video (Instagram Reel format)

Add smooth transitions and pacing that keeps viewers engaged

Apply color grading to enhance the factory’s textures, atmosphere, and overall mood

Deliver in Instagram-ready format (1080x1920, .mp4)

Requirements:

Proven experience editing short-form social media content (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts)

Strong color grading and storytelling skills

Ability to create a cohesive, cinematic feel with minimal guidance

Knowledge of Instagram’s specs and best practices for Reels

Bonus Points:

Experience with urban exploration or abandoned-location footage

Creative use of effects or motion graphics (if it fits the tone)
